Comment on Accuracy and control by Ubereditor

Good post. I especially like this:
“My approach to projects—jump in and do the work and gut out some long nights and weekends and swing at every problem that crops up—that’s not working so well when the problems are more delicate and when people are edge and when I’m on edge.”

I’ve never been able to write fiction. Or swim the crawl (either). Or do any sport well other than long-range hiking (back in the day) and guard at basketball.

Interestingly, my reaction has typically been just to accept it and move on. Just like my reaction to the world being a scary place is to not walk alone in dark corners.

There’s more to think about there; thank you for provoking it!

Comment on My brave little guy by Harmony

“This is how I know I’m not a great writer. I can’t capture this. I can’t explain to you how big Zoey lived, how special he was, how he wasn’t like any other animal I’ve ever known, how he was just a magical little ball of fluff that was certain he could defeat anything. He was so certain that he convinced me. ”

I’m sorry, but you’re wrong. You are a great writer. Because you are explaining it really well, and it made me cry, and made me really sad I didn’t know him, because he leaps right off the page. I’m so sorry.

Comment on Zoey by Harmony

Oh Amy. I love hearing all about Zoey. I’m so sorry he had to go.

Jasper and I just watched the video of him catching his tail, and Jasper laughed his head off the whole time, and then at the end he waved his fingers in that tiny toddler wave and said, “Hi! Hi Mister Kitty” in his “talking to cats” voice, which is apparently built in, because he does it only when he’s talking to cats or dogs or his stuffed animals. He really liked the video. Thanks for sharing it.

Comment on Not again, goddamn it by subevents

Thanks very much for your comment, Beth! I am sorry that I apparently neglected to check my comment-approval thing and missed this a few weeks back. It actually does make me feel better that someone else has a very similar thing and is doing all right. The similar-to-stroke symptoms are the scariest damn part of it, of course. Stupid brains.

Comment on Best man, upside down, and kale by Angel

Kale chips are easy to get sick of. I do ‘em in the dehydrator. The other way to cook them is to boil the crap out of them (chopped up in small pieces) for about 10 minutes and then serve with some kind of tasty sauce. It’s kind of like a cooked salad (gee, that sounds appetizing).
